Good news for folks who liked smashing blocks and monsters at the same time. Mojang has officially announced Minecraft Dungeons 2, and it is scheduled to arrive in fall 2026 across several major platforms.
What was revealed
The announcement came during Minecraft Live on March 21, 2026. Instead of serving up concrete gameplay, the trailer leaned into atmosphere and mood. Mojang’s description teases an unnamed new threat, promising "high-stakes encounters" and "never-before-seen locations." No exact release date was provided yet, but wishlisting is already available on the relevant storefronts.
Platforms confirmed
- PC
- Xbox Series X and Series S
- PlayStation 5
- Nintendo Switch
- Nintendo Switch 2
About the Switch release and older consoles
Yes, the Switch is getting a release. That makes sense given how many players still use it. What is notable is that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were not included. The likely reason is the extra cost and effort required to port to older systems, especially when companies can track how many players have moved to newer hardware.
Where this follows from
The original Minecraft Dungeons launched in May 2020. It was developed by Mojang Studios with help from Double Eleven and reached more than 25 million players across platforms. Official support wrapped up in November 2022, and the series had been quiet since then. The sequel reportedly leaked in 2025 under the codename "Project Spicewood," with early info hinting at a mid-2026 target.
What to expect next
Mojang has set a fall 2026 release window but has not given a specific day. We should expect more details in the months ahead, including gameplay footage and a firm launch date. For now, the announcement trailer mainly establishes tone and mystery rather than showing how the game will play.
Bottom line: Minecraft Dungeons 2 is real, it is coming in fall 2026, and it will be on modern consoles and Switch hardware. Keep an eye out for more footage and a final release date in the months ahead.
